Yes. I thought they were massive dickheads for interrupting the show to put their personal lives in the spotlight. At least have the decency to ask in advance. Frank was too nice for putting up with that.

As Mr Turner once wrote, in regards to a young man with a pot leaf necklace, paraphrasing, who can stand in the way of true love.

I had wanted to also apologize to anyone was at the show for such an egregious display of audacity
certainly there was ZERO fore thought or malicious intent of hijacking the show or stealing any thunder or spotlight

that being said, any punter who calls me a dickhead, I will defend myself

OK. I have an email from you in my inbox I was planning on replying to, but here we are, you seem keen to discuss it publicly.

Your (very, very wasted) girlfriend / fiancee got up on stage *first*. Grabbed me in the middle of me doing a show, trying to say something. It's pretty disconcerting. Putting on shows is actually pretty hard, believe it or not. It really threw me. Then you got up onstage. I decided to let it run, because I was now in a position where I had no good options, basically. Then it was done.

I think it was a pretty bad judgement call on your part, but such is life, I make bad calls sometimes too, particularly when I'm wasted. If you had emailed to ask, I'd have politely declined. In my humble opinion, proposals are a personal thing, not something to do with the show I'm putting on. That's my two cents.

Shows? All of em.

Not something I got from your initial post:

Was anyone at last night's show and see the couple get engaged?

I'd also argue the use of 'the couple' when one of them is you, is indeed a use of the third person. Why not 'see me and my girlfriend'? The cynic inside me feels you were hoping for a positive response to justify your actions...

As Frank mentions, all of us do stupid things when we're smashed, I am personally particularly prone, but your posts since display little true remorse to an outsider to the events.

With all that said, best wishes to you and your new fiancee, I wish you a wonderful wedding and life together. We live and learn.

I think it would be great to rush up in the middle of your vows and burst into song. I can do a pretty good "Eulogy". Unfortunately, however, I can't sing in key to save my life but I won't care because I will probably be really drunk so not responsible for my actions.
